A place to discuss my work and anything related to it. Basically, nothing more than a writer's blog. From time to time I will post samples of my work, and then I will also post an opinion piece that I have written. With that being said, I hope that if you are visiting my blog that you enjoy what you read. Either way feel free to contact me and let me know what you think of my work thus far.
Thanks,

When all hell breaks loose

Recently I was in the hospital because I was ill. And it was all my doing. I let myself slip into a deep, dark place of despair and depravity so bad that my own mind was working so horribly against me that I did something so terrible and I ended up in the hospital for two weeks. Thankfully, a friend I have known since 2002 from back home in my native state of Texas was able to help me out.

I guess what it was really about or boiled down to was a combination of many different things because of some very bad things that happened to me in the distant and recent past and my present living situation. I don't want to mention too much about myself on the internet because I have often found people seem to get a twisted thrill out of using things against you for their own sick enjoyment.

So after I was released from the hospital last Friday afternoon I have since spent the days and nights just relaxing and reflecting back on what I did that Thursday Afternoon of July 10th, 2014. I also thought about what would've happened had my friend not been able tor willing to help me out. I am grateful that he cared enough about me. He is the true definition of a friend and I can honestly say without a doubt he really is a friend.

Now that I am doing better I will still continue to focus on writing and try not to look back, but I had to at least write about this and acknowledge what I did rather than ignore what I did as if it never occurred. Ignoring a problem doesn't make it go away.

I'm not sure if anyone actually reads anything I write, but for me writing things out actually does help me through things. So as I listen to an old 80's country music station on Pandora music on my phone, I am writing this blog entry. Yes I love old classic 80's country music and backwards because that is what I was raised up listening to. And being from Texas a cowboy state you can bet your bottom dollar that is what you are going to hear people listening to if you ever happen to visit. Texas is a great state. Go longhorns!

At the time of this blog posting I now have my computer back from Hp so I am back to working on reviewing and editing a new short story I have written for the Southern Gothic Tales series that I have started. Alongside of that I have also started writing a sci-fi series that takes place about 100 years or so from now.

The sci-fi series I plan on being a series of multi-part short stories similar to my Southern Gothic Tales shorts. It will be its own self contained universe as well. Once the first short story is developed I can start revealing more in-depth details about it here on my blog and of course once I have a concrete copyright in place.

You can check me out on Twitter @kronoso1979 and I'm on instagram under the same name; at least I think its under the same name.
